Combination Bonuses ??

from GalCiv2 Forums
Most of the time researching and building 1 weapon type is best in the current version becouse usually it doest make sense to start a new weapon tree to get lots of shitty weapons. So my idea is to add a combination bonus and it could be something like laser guided missiles or shilded armor. Anyhitng to make researching 2 paths effective, a combination tech tree would be added and it would incrase % demage from combinations ( eg you got a ship that has 10 missile and 10 laser with +30 combo from researched tech you have now 13-13 attack ) the same thing should be done with defenses ( so the combos could be countered ) what do you guys think ?
ps excuse my english

its been 5 min... dont bump your own post.
i give your idea a thumbs down sorry.
It would throw the balance of single tree techning down the drain.

This isn't true, though. I switch my weapon research path at least once almost every game (unless I'm rushing). When the terrans got 40-beam, 80-shield battleships to counter my psyonic beam, I researched up to psyonic missile and built a new generation of ships. Huge difference: instead of 80 defense, now the most they could block was 7 damage. There's a big enough incentive to switch in situations like this... There's nothing broken with this part of the game, I think

Not to mention that anyone who bumps his own post less than five minutes later, should usually be killfiled / /ignored and all his ideas / posted written off as drivel.

Bumping your own post is fine on this forum, everyone does it, otherwise it doesn't get seen (need at least one reply to appear on the "Recent Posts" list).

Yeah... everyone does it, its a neccesity because without someone posting in it it won't appear on the "Recent posts" section

What does it matter whether it appears in 'Recent posts'? It will still appear in the forum, though a couple of minutes delayed. Am I the only one who always enters the forum, since the 'Recent posts' often is a couple of hours delayed instead?

/Tired of all the bumping.

That's why no-one ever replies, and why people bump.

Part of the strategy of the game is picking a weapon path, and then later deciding whether to risk switching weapons paths when your opponent comes up with a defense to them. Changing this would be a terrible idea.
